CHULUX Slim Single Serve Coffee Maker Lightweight K-pod Coffee Machine for Travel Home Cyan

Size is great! It’s so compact while still offering a great experience! The noise it makes is very very minimal. It will take k pods and such along with ground coffee but you have to get a coffee filter to put in it. I went with a reusable k cup coffee filter. The way it is designed allows it to fit in the area for the k cups. Since the coffee make has a bottom needle the filter I bought allows room for the needle without puncturing the cup so I can reuse it again for my ground coffee. Honestly for the price it is amazing! Also it makes super hot coffee! Very very hot coffee. The brew time is very quick just a few minutes but be careful when touching the mug it will be very hot! I definitely recommend this product!

We were using this specific model Chulux coffee maker, but recently, after 7 months of use, it started to malfunction (steam escaping the unit and coffee not as hot as it should be). So, we contacted Chulux customer service and after helping us confirm our old one could not be fixed, Jerry, the Chulux representative, promptly reimbursed our Amazon account for the purchase of a new one. As to the quality of this coffee maker, I find it superior to several other major brands we tried previously and did not like as much. The quality of the coffee it makes is better tasting than any I've gotten from big name coffee shops, and it's much more flavorful than any we've made from other K-cup coffee makers. Another thing I like about this Chulux model is that it only requires 800 watts, which is significantly less than the 1,000 to 1,200 watts required by other brand K-cup coffee makers we previously used. As a result, we no longer need to be worried about our coffee maker tripping circuit breakers and interrupting our morning routine. Read more

I am giving this four stars because it takes forever and a day to brew your cup of coffee. I understand that it takes this long because it has to heat up the water so I may be being unreasonable with my review. It is very slim so it’s perfect for my needs as I have limited counter space and I needed something compact so overall, I’m happy with it. Read more

This maker works so well to deliver a great cup of coffee — without unnecessary frills or cost. The answer to my quest for a coffee maker that’s quick and easy to use for just one cup of coffee. Lets me control the intensity of the brew — I like really bold coffee so less liquid is better — by deciding on the amount of water to use. Uses all pods designed for Keurig and (with an additional inexpensive filter) works well with loose coffee. Read more

You cannot preheat the coffee machine and it takes seven minutes from the time you turn it on to have your cup of coffee. The coffee turns out good, but it is extremely slow if you are in a hurry. The no preheat function is what I don’t like the most about it, other than that it works well. Closing the machine is a little wonky feeling, but it does work. It just takes a good while. Even after putting the water in, the machine will still shut off quickly until you put your coffee pod in and close it. If they could redo this function of the coffee pot, it would be better. I do love the size of the machine and the simplicity. The navy blue color is very cute. Read more

Do not hesitate to buy a product from CHULUX! I needed to contact customer service over and issue and they were prompt in getting back to me, giving some troubleshooting, working with me through that and then ultimately replacing the coffee maker with a brand new one. This Single Serve coffee maker looks and works wonderfully, as good as the name brand K-Cup machines, for a fraction of the cost. The one thing I will say, this unit does take @ 3 minutes or so to brew, which is slower than the name brand unit....BUT...it also uses about 1/2 the watts to make the coffee happen. For me, waiting 3 minutes for coffee isn't a problem, and the lower watt demand is perfect for use in my camper. The coffee itself is no different than the name brand...did a side by side taste test with the same K-Cup type and there was no difference in taste, temp or aroma. Want a great coffee maker for 1/2-ish the cost of a similar unit by the name brand company and want top notch customer service too? This is the coffee maker you're looking for, no doubt! Read more

Been using it for 3 months. I was worried I wouldn't like it, but I found some k cups that work great in it (San Francisco Bay) I'm kind of a coffee snob and I actually really like this thing. You can control how much water you use with each brew. I usually make pour over or aeropress, but this thing is convenient when I'm hurrying to get ready in the morning. I've tested it with my instant read thermometer and it always heats the water to 195F before it hits the coffee. The price, having control over the water amount, and heating to 195F were the main reasons I chose this one. Very pleased with it. Read more
